to me, the scent is cloying. i had the vanilla orchid one - it's a sugar scrub. it scrubs fairly well, but not as effectively as say the tree hut one. i think it's gentler in general, so it'll work if that's what you wanted, but i needed a harsher one, and prefer a milder scent.

i'd say it's a little more moisturizing than tree hut, and more soapy/lathers (if that makes sense),

I finished my Amika Dry Shampoo deluxe sample this morning. Shedding a tear bc I want to buy it but don't want to spend moniiiies.

That's the worst, when you finish something you really like! I hope you find a good deal on it soon!

Sparkles celebration, I FINALLY finished the shower gel that Would Not Die. It was a decent body wash (Yes to Carrots, I got it awhile back in their $2 Black Friday Sale), but the scent was bland, and I love smelly pretty things. I switched to a Caudalie The De Vignes gel that was already open (I used to be very bad about having multiple products open at the same time!), and I'm already so in love with how rich and creamy and yummy smelling it is!

But alas, I still have a good 5-6 shower gels to work through, including one more giant bottle of Yes to Cucumbers. Hubby might have to use that sucker up, haha then at least he won't steal mine!

LOL, sometimes when I watch empties videos on YouTube, and see them go through 2-3 big bottles of shower gel in a month I can't help but imagine that they bathe obsessively. I mean, I shower as much as the normal person and it still takes me like, six months to use up one 10oz bottle of shower gel!

When I have a new soap I really want to use and I'm stuck on one that won't die I find myself using bigger and bigger blobs. It's wasteful but I guess if that's as naughty as I'm going to be as a person it's OK.

Just last week, I finished the Yes to Cucumber body wash that I bought during the $2 black friday sale! It seriously lasted a year... I didn't think the day would ever come that I could switch to something new!

Deluxe Sized1.Bain de Terre Macadamia Oil Nourishing Conditioner 1.7 fl oz 50ml-NO! This stuff smelled like super glue. And did nothing great for my hair. Would not buy ever.2.Clinique Stay Matte oil blotting sheets 15 count-these are ok. Not a fan of the way they look but they work well so I guess that is what is important.3.Davines Love Shampoo 2.5 fl oz 75ml-this was ok, smelled better than the last product by this brand I tried, but I feel like it made my hair MORE frizzy.

Doubt I would rebuy.5.Do The Right Thing Face to Face Foam Cleanser 15ml-this came in my husband's lone BB Man I got him. He never used it so I did. I actually really enjoyed it except for the masculine smell. The smell does not linger but for that reason I would not rebuy6.Eslor Firming Collagen Day Cream .34 oz 10ml-was not a fan. It was thick, greasy and had a weird medicinal scent. Would not buy7.Fekkai Brilliant Glossing Conditioner 2 fl oz 59ml-this was ok.

It was good when I was fresh out of the shower less good when I was dry.12.L'oreal Revitalift Triple Power Deep Acting Moisturizer .05 oz 14g-this was ok. Did not break me out, absorbed ok, pleasant smell. Would consider repurchasing.13.Manna Kadar Liplocked Priming Gloss Stain Lucky .01 oz .5g-the color was ok.

Glad I got a sample cause if I had spent money on this I would have been mad14.My Prime Multi-Purpose Mattifying Moisturizer .3 fl oz 10ml-this product lies. It did not keep me matte AT ALL. I think it made me more oily (I normally have some oiliness in t-zone). I cannot believe they charge $68 for this FS. Robbery.15.Too Faced Lash Gasm mascara .13 fl oz 3.9ml-I remember using this years ago (not this tube but the product) and loved it. This time the brush bristles hurt (plastic applicator) it was so painful, it made my eyes tear. And the mascara did nothing so pass.16.Ulta Moisture & Shine Shampoo 2 fl oz 60ml-this product smelled weird. Like plastic and the lather was poor. Would not buy or even reuse a sample of it.17.Ulta Sweet Fantasy Vanilla & Caramel lotion 1 fl oz 30ml-the good-this sample lasted several days. The bad, sickeningly sweet, not very moisturizing. Would not buy

No thank you.2.Argan Oil from Morocco Repairing Shampoo & Conditioner .35 fl oz 10ml each-this was ok. I used these before I got my hair did and would likely not buy as I am not sure if it is safe for color treated hair and it was not anything special.3.Biore Nose Strip-I am not sure if this did not work or I just didn't have anything for it to get. Would not buy but I have lots (from magazines)4.Blissful Body Lotion Moonlit Forest .25 fl oz-this is the lotion that replaced Bodycology in Target.

I use the samples but likely would not buy19.Sephora Instant Moisturizer .06 fl oz 2m-was not sure if this was for face or body so I used on body. It was ok. Nothing special.

Perfume1.Harvey Prince Hello x2-I had tried this in a BB years ago and liked it but this time I felt it was different. It was less potent? Watered down? I used it but would not buy it as I have every product this brand makes thanks to BB and am over it.2.Elizabeth & James Nirvana White x3-not a fan. Too pungent initially, then scent fades in minutes. Would not buy

Trashed1.Coastal Scents Liquid Eyeliner in cobalt-I actually really liked this color and the application, wear time etc. I make sure to seal it tightly after each use (approx 3-5x) but last time I went to use it, it smelled like liquified burnt tires. This thing goes on my eyes so no!2.Josie Maran Argan Infinity Lip & Cheek Creamy Oil limitless pink .06 fl oz 2ml-this smells weird (like baby aspirin) is super oily/greasy, slips around your lips. I tried to use it but once it got all gross I gave up.3.Ulta Eyeliners in Gold, Emerald, jet black and chocolate-dried up, faded color had for a while4.Pink Giraffe Bag-I got this free with some mag sub and got like 3 uses before the seams split.

FULL SIZEB&BW foaming hand soap in Topaz Waters Always have these soaps, this scent was ok. B&BW Triple Moisture Cream in Secret Wonderland Love TMCs, this scent is fine too. Elf tinted lip balm in pink Yay empty lippies! This smelled weird but it was nice, basic pink tinted lip balm, easy to use up. Wasn't moistruizing. Purpse Gentle Cleansing face wash Most basic face wash ever, super gentle, used it in the morning. I'd buy it again for that. Philosophy Purity eye makeup removing and face washing gel HATE HATE HATE. And I love purity the normal stuff but this gel was awful. Didn't get my makeup off, felt like it left me filmy and dry....not a fan, would never rebuy this and will stick to the normal cream wash stuff.

DELUXEMiraneese I-Curl 24 hour mascara This was ok. Wasn't good, wasn't bad. Hard to get off. It did curl nicely. Don't think I'd buy.Sixteen92 body lotion in Toasted Marshmallow Ok part of me thinks I honestly got a bad one of these?? It smelled like nothing. Like not marshmallow, not anything and everyone raves about this? It wasn't that old so I don't know, either my sniffer is on the fritz or I got a weird one Givenchy Very Irresistible perfume This was nice, wouldn't buy but I liked itArmani Aqua di Gioa perfume liked this a lot! I'd consider buying it. Sonia Drakkar flash facial Eh. It's basically alcohol and kinda stung my face. Fun to smoosh it off and parts of your face fall off (??) but I don't think it did any miracles. Anastasia Brow Gel in clear Didn't think this was worth the hype but after going back to other gel...it is. I'll be buying it. Kiss my Sass whipped soap in Santa's MustacheSmelled delicious like mint hot chocolate. Wish I could have saved this for the winter but I stabbed it open when I was trying to open it to sniff so I had to use it. Would buy, smells like Christmas!Too Faced Better than Sex Mascara Ok I had this before and remember LOVING it...this time it was just....meh? I feel like it dried up really fast and it flaked on me. Did they change it or did my eyelsashes change? These are lives great mysteries. H2O Face Oasis moisture gel cream I really, really liked this. Sample lasted FOREVER since you need so little, it was perfect for the daytime for me. I probably will end up buying this. I am a fan. MUFE aqua eyes liner in 01L It's black eyeliner. I think I have about 4-5 more samples of this from various places. I don't know, it's black eyeliner, it says in place on my eyelid, not my waterline. Fortune Cookie Soap Whipped Cream in It's Only a Dream Love WC, did not love this scent. Heavy, heavy, heavy rose on me. I don't think they even sell this anymore, making my opinion a moo point Black Violet Tonique in Lavender Chamomille No idea, there wasn't enough in the sample to tell if it did anything for my skin. It smelled nice and felt nice. I'd maybe try and buy a bottle.

FOILDr. Brandt Pores No More Ok so when I was little my grandma had this stuff to put on mosquito bites that worked SO WELL but I can not find anymore and have never been able to find since. This smells EXACTLY like it. Menthol and weird. It worked ok but I can't get past the smell. But it reminded me of grandma so that was nice...sort of.Pure Smile Muddy Girl mask The blue one, whatever that is. This was fine. Not amazing, not bad. Left me soft-ish and vaguely tight. Clinique Super Primer I liked this! I don't normally like lotion-y primers but this one I enjoyed. Not my fave, not sure I'd buy it but I would grab more samples. Holika Holika Juicy Mango Sheet Mask smelled INCREDIBLE, didn't love what it did for my skin (aka not much) but it was relaxing and smelled so good I may pick some more up at some point.

TOSSEDClean orignial version perfume sample ICK ICK ICK this smelled AWFUL on me. Like a baby posessed by satan or something. I don't know something about this did not work with my skin. Nope. Harvey Prince Petaly Noir perfume sample 100 year old grandma in a nursing home on me. NO.
